Which club has the most red cards in a Premier League season?
- Published
Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers hold the joint-record for the most red cards in a Premier League season with nine.
The Black Cats became the first team to pick up nine red cards in a season during the 2009-10 campaign, before QPR matched their feat two years later.
Chelsea have received five red cards from 21 games this campaign, with defender Marc Cucurella the latest to see red in the defeat to west London rivals Fulham.
Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah and Moises Caicedo have all been given their marching orders by referees this campaign too.
The Blues are seeing red once every 5.2 games, and if that run continues it could see Chelsea equal the top-flight record.
Former head coach Enzo Maresca was also sent off late on during Chelsea's win over Liverpool in October.
Chelsea's ill-discipline has also seen the Blues equal their record for red cards in a single Premier League campaign.
